Physical Description
Minuette is slightly tall for a galdor lady at 5’5”. Her body is that of smooth lines and rounded edges, with no bone jabbing out under hungry skin and no scar leaving lumps or dips in her outline. She has small shoulders, bust, and waist, above larger hips and thighs. She has curly red hair that brushes her collar, pale blue eyes, an upturned nose, large front teeth, and rounded, rosy cheeks and jaw of youth. Like a doll, Minuette has recently been fitted with a lovely porcelain lower left leg and left hand. Both prosthetics are a powdery matcha green with hand-painted flowers, birds, and butterflies, though Minnie often adorns a metal wrist joint to which she can screw more practical tools, such as pens, utensils, and a hook. Minnie is quite clumsy on her new leg, though she is managing.
Minnie loves girly, flowing dresses of pink, white, and soft green. With the loss of a hand and a leg, she prefers easy to put on dresses- straight skirts with puffy sleeves, adorned with a matching waist and hair ribbon. However, a long-longer of playing in the fields, cycling, and scampering about, Minnie has several riding suits- high-waisted trousers that balloon and taper at the knee worn with high necked blouses and knee-high boots.

Personality
Minnie is a soft-spoken, though not shy, girl, particularly after taking an extended leave from school for her health. Analytical, the young galdor is a skilled overthinker. She thrives at the outskirts of a group or one on one, where she can observe and communicate more personally with smaller audiences. When caught in a more nervous social situation, the girl’s body often shuts-out her brain, leaving her to stumble over her words and act far before she thinks. Minnie, however, is a bit of a gossip- she loves to observe and learn everything she can about others from afar, like they are characters from a book whose life she can discuss and laugh over with friends. She also loves to share information that others have not heard, whether fact or rumor.
Minnie is an active listener and deeply loyal to the few she is close with. A lover of facts and knowledge, the young woman is well-stocked with facts and tidbits and the beginning of skills. Should she take interest in anything, she becomes obsessed, learning everything she can about it until it bores her. She greatly enjoys the arts, particularly making things of her own- under her father, she enjoys playing the piano, and, through her own ambition to learn, she loves to knit and sew. Minuette is slow to anger and incredibly grateful to be back on her feet.
The young galdor is a collector of all things. The embodiment of the phrase, "One man's trash is another man's treasure," Minnie often adopts little things others were going to throw away, leaving her with a collection of beads, ribbons, fabric scraps, perfume bottles, and many other little trinkets, all of which she keeps organized. She has a deep soft spot for all growing things, as well, and has adopted many a plant for her windowsill. Many of these said plants are grown from seeds she sneaks from dinner, gentle clippings from gardens she passes, and unhealthy houseplants she has found in another's trash.
The girl deeply follows auralogy, though she mostly started paying attention to it ironically. Now, she keeps it primarily to herself at home for fear of being teased by her brother, but, for a few coins or around friends, she enjoys weaving her own auralogy readings on a deck of homemade cards.
With her new prosthetics, Minuette is incredibly self-conscious about her appearance and perception to those around her. She does not want to be viewed as broken, nor weak, nor stupid as she falls behind in missed studies. Primarily, though, Minnie is focused on being independent despite her prosthetics. She does not want to slow anyone else down or rely on another to help her.
Views
Minnie does her best to steer clear of political conversations, simply because she wishes to avoid conflict. She does, however, hold the galdori as the superior race, though she believes that, with the gifts the mona has bestowed upon them, it is their duty to protect and help the lesser races. She believes wicks have the same responsibility, though carry less of their burden, and deeply pities humans and passives, particularly, for their lack of mona. She does, however have a deep curiosity for the cultures of the other races.

Backstory
Minuette Della Vaux is the second child of Sophronia (Sophie) and Clifford Vaux, and the sister of Sonatine Victor Vaux, her older brother. From babyhood, Minnie was rather sickly, though, for the most part, she was able to lead a normal young life. Her father, a musician, funds a somewhat comfortable living for the family while Sophie stays home and manages the house. As children, both Minnie and her brother spent much of their time learning music from their father and sewing, cooking, and other home skills from their mother. She particularly enjoyed being outdoors, whether cycling, playing croquet, or simply searching for stones, bugs, and small critters. The galdor child was particularly taken with the idea of exploring the world, recording the plants, animals, and people she saw, and sharing her findings with grand museums. Minnie entered Brunnhold with just above average marks and is a diligent student.
Winter of 2719, however, the young galdor got sick. A simple, cold-weather disease quickly turned septic. A loss of blood flow, a body already weakened to fighting a disease, and a quick-spreading bacteria. For months, Minnie was dead to the world, alone in her home as her family was forced to separate themselves for fear of spreading her illness. In early spring of 2720, she was alive again, but parts of her were dead- her hand and lower leg had been amputated to stop the spread of the disease.
Having missed a full half of her school year and losing much of her body and mobility, Minnie is nervous to return to Brunnhold, afraid she may not be able to make up lost time before graduation. She also fears being ogled at, disappointing her family or past professors, and having to settle for some mundane career course.
-Minnie most wishes to catch back up with school and try her best to return to a normal young social life.
-She would love to get back on her highwheel bicycle with Sonatine again.
-Minnie is working to start a student paper- complete with rumors and auralogy- in Brunnhold.
-She would like to return to path of her dream career, that of exploring and recording the world on grand expeditions, but fears her state may leave her laughable should she try to get on any boat.
-Should she not be able to explore, she supposes she may find some happiness as a museum curator or a local reporter.
